First, we had a great year, generating record sales, our second best continuing earnings ever and our third highest acquisition spending level. Second, we announced a new organizational structure, the first such change in 20 years. We are now organized into six subsidiaries with 13 groups of companies, which will give us more market focus, acquisition capacity and executive leadership. And third, and perhaps most important for the future, we achieved a smooth transition to new leadership. On January 1, 2005, Tom Reece formally passed the mantle of Chief Executive Officer to Ron Hoffman, who had served as Dover’s President and Chief Operating Officer since mid-2003. Tom remains Chairman of the Board. With this planned and seamless transition, Ron has now become only the fifth person to lead Dover in the company’s 50-year history.

  • Mandating Diversity: the Inclusion Clause
    Call to Action Sara Lee's General Counsel: Making Diversity A Priority By Melanie Lasoff Levs For some committed general counsel, the standard talk about diversity is only a starting point. Recently, many corporate attorneys decided it was time to demand specific actions and results-with very real consequences. In spring 2004, Sara Lee General Counsel Roderick Palmore created "A Call to Action: Diversity in the Legal Profession," a document reaffirming a commitment to diversity in the law profession and taking action to ensure that corporate legal departments and law firms increase the numbers of women and minority attorneys hired and retained. And if law firms don't, the document states, "We [the undersigned corporate legal department representatives] further intend to end or limit our relationships with firms whose performance consistently evidences a lack of meaningful interest in being diverse." (See the sidebar in this article for the complete text.) Palmore wrote the Call to Action to build on a previous manifesto: former BellSouth General Counsel Charles Morgan's "Diversity in the Workplace: A Statement of Principle," written in 1999. "In that [document], signatories espoused an interest in diversity and the principle of diversity, which was a fabulous thing at the time," Palmore says. "But it struck me that not enough has happened. The progress of the profession-and more specifically the progress of large law firms-had stagnated." The Call to Action takes the Statement of Principle a step further, Palmore adds. "Its purpose is to take the general principle of interest in advancing diversity and translate that into action, into a commitment to act on, to make decisions about retaining law firms based in part on the diversity performance of those law firms." Discussion around the need for a Call to Action began in November 2003, when a group of general counsel gathered at the invitation of the Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA®), and the Association of the Corporate Counsel (ACC).

  • Who Is Most Impacted by the New Lease Accounting Standards?
    Who is Most Impacted by the New Lease Accounting Standards? An Analysis of the Fortune 500’s Leasing Obligations What Do Corporations Lease? Many companies lease (rather than buy) much of the equipment and real estate they use to run their business. Many of the office buildings, warehouses, retail stores or manufacturing plants companies run their operations from are leased. Many of the forklifts, trucks, computers and data center equipment companies use to run their business is leased. Leasing has many benefits. Cash flow is one. Instead of outlaying $300,000 to buy five trucks today you can make a series of payments over the next four years to lease them. You can then deploy the cash you saved towards other investments that appreciate in value. Also, regular replacement of older technology with the latest and greatest technology increases productivity and profitability. Instead of buying a server to use in your data center for five years, you can lease the machines and get a new replacement every three years. If you can return the equipment on time, you are effectively outsourcing the monetization of the residual value in the equipment to an expert third-party, the leasing company. Another benefit of leasing is the accounting, specifically the way the leases are reported on financial statements such as annual reports (10-Ks). Today, under the current ASC 840 standard, leases are classified as capital leases or operating leases. Capital leases are reported on the balance sheet. Operating leases are disclosed in the footnotes of your financial statements as “off balance sheet” operating expenses and excluded from important financial ratios such as Return on Assets that investors use to judge a company’s performance.
